The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit L protein interacts with FlavivirusNS5 and may modulate yellow fever virus replication

Abstract: BackgroundYellow fever virus (YFV) belongs to the Flavivirus genus and causes an important disease. An alarming resurgence of viral circulation and the expansion of YFV-endemic zones have been detected in Africa and South America in recent years. NS5 is a viral protein that contains methyltransferase and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domains, which are essential for viral replication, and the interactions between NS5 and cellular proteins have been studied to better understand viral replication. The aim … Show more

“…This is surprising since eIF3 together with the 40S ribosomal subunit, also under-represented in the present study, have been shown to be important during the initial phase of protein synthesis, and flaviviruses are thought to prevent host cell protein shutoff, at least in mammalian cells [ 149 ]. However, a recent study using yellow fever virus (YFV) in mammalian cells found that NS5 interacts with eIF3L, a subunit of eIF3, and that overexpression of this subunit facilitates YFV translation but does not affect global protein synthesis [ 150 ]. This suggests that eIF3 is also important in tick cells for replication of flaviviruses but that down-regulation of this initiation factor might have an antiviral effect.…”

“…Viruses may have evolved stimulation mechanisms that synthesize ribosomal proteins to facilitate the translation of their viral components. Moreover, the PPI analysis showed interaction of the RPL/S with EIF3L, POLR2H, and GTF2F2, which have been also implicated in viral replication [69,70,71]. However, we previously described that VHSV replication appeared to be halted in rainbow trout RBCs early after exposure ex vivo [13].…”

“…The eIF3l subunit was found to interact with the Flavivirus NS5 and eIF3l overexpression was suggested to promote Flavivirus translation and thus to modulate the yellow fever virus replication cycle ( 145 ). Depletion of endogenous eIF3k de-sensitized simple epithelial cells to various types of apoptotic stimuli and promoted the retention of active caspase 3 in cytoplasmic inclusions by increasing Cas3 binding to keratins ( 146 ).…”
